Chu Li shifted the void several times in a row and retracted the Omniscient Mirror, but he could vaguely feel that they were behind him.
After shifting a few times, he realized that they were still following him. Obviously, there was something guiding them. His mind was as fast as lightning as he quickly thought of a loophole. Soon, he realized that it was the Heavenly Demonic Blade.
It was very likely that Liang Leiyin's soul energy injured him through the Heavenly Demonic Blade, leaving behind a trace of aura. This trace of aura was the source of the ten black-robed elders' senses.
He had encountered ten black-robed elders each time. The first time was an elder, the second time was the Grand Supreme Elder. He did not know what it was this time, but it was more powerful than before.
Moreover, ten people in a group could form a formation, which was even more powerful.
This time, the ten elders made him feel extremely dangerous. The best way was to avoid them. Since he had already killed Liang Leiyin, there was no need to entangle himself with the people from the Heaven Devouring Sect.
Logically, killing Liang Leiyin would severely damage the Heaven Devouring Sect. Even if the Heaven Devouring Sect wanted to retaliate, they would not have time to split. The Heaven Devouring Sect had too many enemies. If they saw an opportunity, they would definitely not let it go.
The Heaven Devouring Sect's aggressiveness and tyranny had already suppressed their enemies to the point of suffocation. A small spark could ignite them, and the death of the sect leader was a huge spark that would definitely ignite their resistance.
However, looking at the stance of these ten black-robed elders, they were unrelenting and determined to avenge Liang Leiyin. They were really difficult to deal with.
He did not want to continue fighting with them and fall into danger for no reason. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, escape was the best strategy.
He kept teleporting through the void. As he became more and more familiar with the void, each teleportation required an extremely small amount of energy. He didn't believe that these ten black-robed elders were more familiar with the void than he was, or that their inner force and soul force were deeper than his.
Such frequent void shifts not only required a profound inner energy, but also a strong spiritual energy. He knew that both were rare in the world, and the ten black-robed elders could not defeat him.
After shifting for a long time, he finally sensed that the ten black-robed elders had given up, and he was relieved.
He looked around and found himself in the extraterrestrial battlefield, close to the Grandmaster Realm.
No wonder the ten old men stopped chasing. They had reached a dangerous place.
Using the Omniscient Mirror once again, he saw ten black-robed elders on top of a mountain peak. Their haggard faces were solemn as they looked coldly in his direction. After a moment of silence, they merged into the void together.
Chu Li shook his head. In the end, he still managed to get rid of this group of people. However, they were still troublesome. He would need to go through another round of killing to become the sect leader of the Flying Heaven Sect.
The new Sect Master of the Heaven Devouring Sect had to avenge Liang Leiyin. Only by withstanding this round of revenge could he truly stand firm and take over the position of Flying Heaven Sect's Sect Master.
Chu Li was not in a hurry to change back to his original appearance. Instead, he transformed into another person and entered the Outland Realm. The Heavenly Demon Scripture transformed into the Heavenly Demonic Orb and shrank back into the Heavenly Demonic Orb. Chu Li was equipped with the Heavenly Demonic Sword as he stepped into the city. Then, in a flash, he appeared at the Divine Gate.
Calculating the time, it was almost time to eat the Nine-Colored Fruit.
He appeared next to the icy pond in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Soon, a red shadow flashed by and the little Vermillion Bird appeared.
"Follow me!" The little Vermillion Bird hovered in the air as her crisp voice rang in Chu Li's mind.
Chu Li gently nodded.
The little Vermillion Bird turned into a ray of red light and disappeared into the distance. Chu Li followed closely behind.
The little Vermillion Bird flew diagonally upwards towards a certain place in the void. Chu Li traveled in the void and flew more than five thousand meters in one go. When he looked down, the Hundred Thousand Mountains that he could not see the end of became smaller.
Finally, a cloud covered his eyes. When he looked up, a towering mountain suddenly appeared. It towered into the sky and he could not see its end. Below it was covered by clouds, so he could not see its foot. This surprised Chu Li.
The little Vermillion Bird finally stopped on a towering ancient tree. It flapped its wings and scoffed. "If I didn't lead the way, you wouldn't have found this Sky Piercing Peak."
Chu Li nodded.
Such a huge and towering mountain should be visible even from afar. However, he could not see it. There must be something strange about it.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "The spirit herbs on this mountain are all above ten thousand years old. However, you can't touch them randomly. You can only eat the Nine-Colored Fruit!"
"Understood!" Chu Li nodded and pointed at the distant peak. "What's over there?"
"Some old men." The little Vermillion Bird scoffed.
Chu Li asked, "Is the golden dragon there?"
"If you want to recuperate, go there." The little Vermillion Bird said, "If you're not injured, there's no need to go there. Alright, it's useless for you to know this. You can't enter anyway. Do you see that tree?"
She nodded with her long beak.
Chu Li looked at a short tree.
It was only as tall as his waist and as thick as his arm. It looked like it was made of iron. At first glance, it looked like a plum branch, but it was cleaner. There was only a fruit the size of a fist on the branch.
Nine colors might seem like a lot, but on a fruit the size of a fist, it did not seem like much. From the top of the fruit to the bottom, the nine colors were arranged in order, from light to dark.
At first glance, it looked like a rainbow was printed on it, but it was more colorful than a rainbow.
Chu Li moved forward and sniffed it, but there was no smell.
The little Vermillion Bird scoffed. "Do you think such a strange fruit will have a fragrance?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"A divine object conceals itself. It can protect itself and not emit any fragrance. Otherwise, it would have been eaten long ago!" The little Vermillion Bird said. "Let's wait for another two days."
Chu Li nodded.
The little Vermillion Bird asked, "What blade is that on your waist?"
"Heavenly Demonic Blade." Chu Li patted the handle of the Heavenly Demonic Blade and smiled. "Do you recognize it?"
"I've seen this blade." The little Vermillion Bird nodded.
Its beady eyes flashed. After a while, it shook its head. "This is an ominous blade, it's best to throw it away!"
Chu Li looked at it curiously.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "I've seen someone enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills with this blade, but he died from the backlash."
"You guys didn't kill him?" Chu Li smiled.
The little Vermillion Bird scoffed. "That person was a madman. He thought he could go anywhere with this blade and come and go as he pleased in the Hundred-Thousand Hills!"
Chu Li asked, "How did the blade backfire?"
"His killing intent was too strong, so he killed himself." The little Vermillion Bird seemed to be pouting. "He cut off his own head!"
Chu Li looked down at the Heavenly Demonic Blade and smiled. "Then I'll have to be careful."
He was very confident. Although the blade still had demonic properties, it was now connected to his flesh and blood, so he could use it freely. Moreover, its blade spirit had entered the void of his mind and was suppressed by the Heavenly Demon. If it wanted to cause trouble, the Buddhas and Demons in his mind would immediately suppress it.
However, he still maintained a trace of vigilance in case he failed miserably. He would not use this blade if he could.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "After that, a Golden Dragon took this blade away to prevent the demonic energy from contaminating everyone. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands."
Chu Li smiled. "This Senior Golden Dragon doesn't have good intentions."
"Can you blame others for coveting this blade?" The little Vermillion Bird scoffed.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
This was indeed caused by his own greed. He could not blame the Golden Dragon for digging a hole for him.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "Anyway, be careful and guard this side. Once the color of the Nine-Colored Fruit disappears and turns into a snow-white fruit, you can consume it."
